Career & Postgraduate Study Opportunities
Industry
The Honours Bachelor of Technology (Construction Management) degree is well respected in the construction sector. Here's what sector leaders say about our program:
“The introduction of the new Construction Management program at George Brown College is the next stage of development of professionalism in the construction industry. For the first time, the industry has its own degree-specific program which brings together the two most important elements identified by leading construction executives – the science of construction and the science of management.”
— Temple Harris, vice-chairman, Gillam Group
“In order to provide the necessary leadership, we need to staff our projects with construction professionals. Therefore, we believe the four-year degree program in Construction Management at George Brown College is an important component to ensure our continual requirement for construction professionals will be met.”
— Christopher Rick, PCL Constructors, Canada Inc.
“As the industry expands and continues to change, it is imperative that individuals overseeing and managing construction projects are properly trained in all facets of the business.”
— James Zippel, general manager, Electrical Service & Projects, Ainsworth
“It is a fact that the construction industry is the largest employer in the Greater Toronto Area. Producing future graduates who already have the necessary construction-specific skills as they start their careers will only help strengthen the long-term success of our industry.”
— Greg Kozicz, president, Alberici Constructors, Ltd.
“In our opinion, there continues to be a real need for improved and advanced education and training in the construction sector and an improved method of attracting and retaining the best and brightest of our future generations. We submit that this program is a significant step in the right direction toward achieving these goals and believe that successful graduates of an effective four-year degree program will help to raise the bar in terms of the knowledge and capabilities of companies involved in the construction industry.”
— Michael George, president, Trisura Insurance
“The urgency for a program of this nature is fuelled by the rapid change in our construction industry and the fact that it is becoming more technology-driven each day. Having graduates of such competency enter the industry with refined skills on both the technical and managerial aspects of construction will not only fill a void that currently exists but bring immeasurable promise to the future of project managers, site superintendents and construction management in general.”
— Mike Van Volsen, operations manager, Access Suspended Platforms Inc.
